The funding will expand Recap's capacity by making a contributing to a driver's wage for nine months .This will mean that Recap can increase the delivery and installation of its home starter packs to tenants who are on benefits. Recap will supply these new Housing association tenants with an essential furniture pack which when they are offered new house. The starter packs will consist of a mixture new and second hand furniture. Essentially it will give the new tenant furniture to cook, sleep and sit on. The Furniture packs will include Bed, Settee, Fridge Freezer or Washing Machine or Cooker, Bedding, Pots & pans, Cutlery and Kettle. The project will help new tenants many who are homeless, on benefits and are affected by welfare reform and living in poverty. Recap has established a partnership with Sanctuary a local Housing Association to help new tenants. Currently Recap does supply a limited number of tenants with furniture. The funding would enable Recap to expand and develop the service and help an increased number of tenants. The project will help the tenants to settle into their new home in the longer term sustain their tenancy. There has been an increase in demand for the service due to welfare reform which means it is more it more difficult for people to access grants when moving into a new home. The project will help to allieviate the effects of welfare reform, poverty, social inequality and prevent people reaching a crisis situation. Over the period Recap supplied the tenants with essential household items such as bed, sofa's electrical goods, bedding pot, cutlery and soft furnishings.
